20th Annual Santa Pub Crawl In Midtown Atlanta

Each year Ryan Radding is in charge of the Santa Pub Crawl in Midtown Atlanta. Saturday, December 8 will mark the massive event’s 20th anniversary. The crawl expects thousands of people to participate, as the party grows considerably each holiday season. Holiday costumes are mandatory, making the evening especially fun. Radding likes to keep with the spirit of the holidays and asks everyone to bring a new, unwrapped toy or children’s gift for U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program to Front Page News, the first stop on the crawl.

The event is so large that crawlers are divided into two groups by red and green wristbands.

It is always a great idea to eat something before a night full of bar crawling. The Atlanta Santa Pub Crawl Pre-Party at Moe’s Original Bar B Que at 349 14th Street lasts from 1 to 4 p.m. and is sure to get you prepared for a night on the town. In addition to award-winning food, Moe’s Original is offering deals to anyone in costume including 10% Off all food, $3 beers, $5 liquor drinks and $50 Moe’s Gift Certificate for Best Costume.

The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community. The Santa Pub Crawl is always a crazy, fun time each year, and a perfect way to give back to charity. It’s a great way to meet new friends and have some drinks in the spirit of Christmas and also a great way to show the community you care.
